Popularity Contest by The Kimberly Trip

The single “Your Creepy Ex” is the highlight of the Kimberly Trip’s knife-sharp humorous narratives, an ode to stalking that wears the nerd label like a badge of honor. However, the group has a serious side as well, best exemplified by the haunting “Second to Fade” and the soaring heartbroken anthem “Shy Girl From Orange County”.

Popularity Contest is the 4th studio album from the band and has been called “A sonic masterpiece; A lo-fi, epic album with an explosive chemistry that is brimming with life-affirming vibes and buoyant rock & roll that is charming and irresistible.”
